Smart Composting System for Sustainable Organic Waste

Management
Our world is confronted with the pressing challenge of managing organic waste sustainably. As
urbanization continues to rise, so does the generation of organic waste, necessitating innovative
approaches to tackle this issue. In the fast-paced world of today, where environmental concerns and
sustainable practices take center stage, the need for innovative solutions in waste management becomes
increasingly crucial. In recent decades, the escalating challenges posed by organic waste have compelled
a reevaluation of traditional waste management practices. Historically, organic waste, including food
scraps and agricultural residues, has been disposed of through conventional means such as landfilling or
open-air decomposition. However, with urbanization, population growth, and heightened environmental
awareness, these methods have proven unsustainable.

Problem
 Traditional composting practices exhibit limitations in control, efficiency, and environmental impact.
The lack of a newer technologies that combines hardware, software, and technology in waste
management interventions creates a critical gap in sustainable solutions.

Importance and Significance of the Study

This study holds importance in revolutionizing organic waste management by
introducing a Smart Composting System. Traditional methods exhibit inefficiencies
and environmental concerns, necessitating a transformative approach. The
integration of hardware, software, and technology not only signifies a technological
leap but also addresses the critical need for environmental sustainability. The system
optimizes decomposition processes, enhances operational efficiency, and provides
faster result.

Research Aim and Objectives

This study aims to aid waste management by creating a smart system for organic waste material that will
go into compost.

OBJECTIVES 01 OBJECTIVES 02 OBJECTIVES 03

Creating a Smart Composting
System that will turn organic food
waste into fertilizer.
Monitor and control composting
conditions, including temperature,
moisture content, by integrating
sensors and automation technology
into the smart bin.
Examine the smart bin system's
effects on the environment, taking
into account its role in lowering food
waste.

Review of Related Literature
1ST RRL
Emphasizing the broader significance of
composting, (Arfo’ et al., 2022) highlight
its role as a critical component within a
general waste management and treatment
strategy. This holistic view positions
composting beyond a mere means of
product generation, emphasizing its
pivotal role in achieving comprehensive
waste reduction and contributing to
environmental sustainability.
2ND RRL
.(Wei et al., 2022) discuss the controlled
nature of composting, describing it as a
systematic process involving microbial
decomposition, oxidation, and
oxygenation of organic matter in a solid
and moist state. This level of control
ensures the efficient breakdown of diverse
organic materials, reinforcing the
effectiveness of composting systems.

3RD RRL
The evolution of bio-waste recycling
introduces bio-waste composting, an aerobic
process described by (Chia et a.,2020),
involving the biological decomposition of
waste to produce valuable soil nutrients.
This transformative approach aligns with
the trend in sustainable waste management,
combining waste reduction with the
production of soil
